Oatmeal, sugar and milk provide the energy needed to stay active between meals and to resist long working hours and sports activities. They also help maintain strength because they help us maintain energy reserves for longer.
Strawberries and banana also provide us with energy, but beyond that, they provide the body with bioactive compounds that promote the proper functioning of the body and help to better use the nutrients present in others and helping us to stay more healthy.
With regard to cinnamon, it has been shown to be a vasodilator which contributes to the efficiency of the cardiovascular system and reduce hypertension caused by work stress.
